NHAI Steeply Reduces Toll Collection Costs by 43.5%

Imagine NHAI is like a big company that owns roads and collects money from people who use them.

Collecting this money costs them money too.

NHAI found ways to make collecting this money much cheaper.

They did this by making sure their contracts for toll collection were for longer periods, like a year, instead of very short periods like three months.

They also watched the contracts more closely and stopped automatically extending them.

Because of these changes, they saved over 2,000 crore rupees in just one year!

This means less of the money collected from drivers goes towards paying for the collection process, and more goes to NHAI to maintain the roads.

They also talked to the people who collect the tolls to make sure everyone was happy and participating in bidding for new contracts.
